AS the above passionate wall ceased, in

Looked at the singers erief-stricken face
and could no longer doubt that her heart
was full of woe.
The slender, girlish, form was bowed;
heart broken sobs shook it, the pearly
tears trickled slowly down her thin cheeks,
her face, which I remembered, as being SO
round and rosy, was not SO now. Oh, no!
twas pale and shrunken.
Her beautiful lips dropped piteously at
the corners, and every few minutes she
would cough until they assumed purplish
gray color. When she took her handker-
chief from them I saw twas wet with
blood.
Full of grief, caught the poor child in
my arms. "Lu, Lu," cried as 1 kissed

my life-my poor life! it is SO
different from what I once pictured it.
You eau not form the least idea of its
dreariness. Annie, for it resembles nothing
so much as dark, stormy night, with one
star to light its somberness! Oh, my
friend, can't you pity me? You have all
that have lost--love and happiness. ""My
DEAR murmured softly, II do pity you
from the depths of my heart; but can't you

into which no eye but my Makers has ever

For few moments she was silent, then
in a constrained voice she said:
When we parted at school came home.
Now. Annie, I will pass over my Joy at
once more being with my dear ones, and
the pleasure felt at revisiting every WE'LL

every beauty he had unfolded. You can
imagine all that. I will simply state the
facts of which you know nothing.

The interstate commerce bill
was intended to benefit the interior
towns which were being discrimi-
mated against under the old system.
But the only effect has been to raise
the former rates. And now the
railroads age endeavoring to have
the commission release them from
the working the long and short haul
clause in certain cases. That is, so
they can keep UP their excessivein-
terror charges and also give cheap
long hauls. Or, in other words, re-
tain Just such features of the bill
as will tend to increase their divi-
dends. 1t is evidently their inten-
ton to make the law as obnoxious
as possible.

MILLIONAIRE PAUPBRS.

The Chicago News has been get
ting in some good work lately in
publishing the sworn statements OF
personal property made by the mil
lionaires of Chicago. Here are a
few:
Potter Palmer, with one of the
finest private residences in America,
swears that the fair cash value of
his personal effects is $4,000.
Senator Farwen, living in a splen-
did mansion, for the furnishing of
which all Europe was ransacked,
swears that his household goods are
worth 81 800.
The Armours, who use four mil

adulterate their lard, and recently
proposed to spend 100000 in
starting cotton seed oil mills in the
south, swear that the true cash
value Of their property is from ST.
200 to 81, 800 eachl
Nickerson, with $3.50, 900 in pic

The News looked up the taxes of
the poor and found that the piano

PROF. FOSTER, the Iowa meteor

year for all the country lying west
and south of the Missouri river to
the Rockies. He says: eve very
much fear that this will be a
disastrous year for the country once
known as the Great American
Desert 1t is not popular to make
such predictions and we sincerely
wish that in this we may be mis-
taken. But those who have watch
ed the movement of the cold waves,
the storms and the precipitation for
a year past must be convinced that
the Atlantic high barometer is still
on its westward oscillation and that
it evidently bodies evil for the far
west" Now, we have simply to
give these northumberland people
this advice: Come to Idaho. The
Atlantic high barometer can con-
tinue on its westward oscillation

AT THE OLD STAND.


The crusade Commissioner Sparks
has made against the questionable
methods of some the lumber men
in the west has stopped some of
their practices. One concern in
Colorado, however, seems to be IN
terrified The columns of local
newspaper up in the Snefels range
contain the advertisement of three
enterprising lumbermen, says the
New York Sun, and it is something
unique. 1t reads like this:
We ARE No RABBITs.-This is to
certify that we are at the old stand,
and no son of a gun of special
agent is going to snoop around our
ranch. We buy the Winchesters
for cash, and sell all kinds of lum-
Der on time. Our mill is still run
ming, up in the La Sails, and our
prices are neither higher nor lower
than than they were before William
Andrew jackson Sparks and his
henchmen undertook to reform
everything from hell to breakfast.
Come and see us. Our pine is on
the Mesa, and our mill is on the
make.

is STEWART A JACK MORMON

Since Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
started his annexation scheme he
has been subjected to some pretty
rough usage from the Idaho press.
In fact, several papers have diff
ferent times called him a "sly old
wizard" and some have even went
so far as to call him a blooming
fraud" but it remained for an. east
ern paper, the Philadelphia Times,
to accuse him of being Jack Nor
mon:
1t is claimed that the bill annex
ing the panhandle of Idaho to
Washington Territory is part of a
scheme to create Mormon State,
the other part of the scheme to be
presented to the next Congress in
the form of a bill annexing the
southern half Of Idaho to the little
pocket state of Nevada. If both
annexations are successful the Nor
mons, according to this statement,
are to move into the part of Idaho
annexed to Nevada in sufficient
numbers to capture the state legis-
laturc and control its government.
Although this statement would
seem to indicate common under
standing of plot between the Wash
ington annexationists and the Nor
mons, we are glad to be able to
state that Mr.. Alonzo Leland, Of
the Lewiston Teller, has no cogni-
zance of the vile scheme.

A man who believes he doesn't

they wont take the trouble to look

Ninety-nine times in a hundred the
man who cant afford" his mind

mental and moral stimulus week,
can afford to fill his skin full of

PAGES. And generally he is the
man who talks of newspapers being

PROHIBITION.

The present status of the prohib-
ition question all over the country
is reported as being very gratifying
by its advocates, while the friends
of high 1icense--and there can be
not doubt but that the liquor prob
lem will ultimately be settled on
one or the other of these two plans
claim growing public sentiment
in favor of their views.
In several states determined eff
forts have been made to secure the
submission to popular vote of con-
stitutional amendments embodying
the principal of prohibition in the
fundamental law. Insix cases this
has been successful-Republican
bodies in Michigan, Oregon and
Pennsylvania and Democratic bod
les in Tennessee, West Virginia and
Texas. Three legislatures have de-
feated propositions for constitution
al neutrality-suspicious. bodies
in Nebraska and Illinois, and DEM
ocratic body in Missouri. In each
of these three states high license
has been in operation for several
years, and it's working provides a
successful argument against exper-
imenting with prohibition.
The election in Michigan took
place last week and the amendment
was defeated by about 5000 ma
jority.
Texas and Oregon vote on the
question this summer and West
Virginia and Texas in the fall.
In Pennsylvania it will require rat
fcation by another legislature be-
lore being submitted to popular vote.

TERRITORIAL BRIEFS.

fairly earned the champions belt.
He will be sent to Mr.. Regan's ranch

GRIM COWBOY HUMOR.
Some of tho Practical jokes Played by
"Wild Jack" Booth.

| Some of tho Practical jokes Played by
"Wild Jack" Booth.
you fellows have all heard of Wild
Jack Booth, one of the best cow-punch-
ers that ever slept outdoors. Jack
has peculiar ideas of fun. One day,
down on the Frying Pan ranch, he
spied the protruding feet of an Indian
corpse that had been buried on hill
side. Jack reasoned with companion
after this manner:
"'Bill, l think that Injun stiff hcv
been under kiver long enuf. l jest
think I'll give him an airin'.
Shutting his actions to the remark,
Jack shared one of the protruding legs
with lariat, took turn or two around
the horn of the saddle, and turned the
pony loose on the wide prairie. Out
came the Indian, feathers, war-paint
and all. When Jack had been suffi-
GENTLY amused, the corpse was two or
three miles from its grave, and it was
never buried.
"One day Jack lassoed big loaver
wolf, and started his pony on dead
run toward camp. One of the boys
saw the procession approaching, and,
thinking something was wrong, started
out with Winchester. The reinforce
ment got a wrong impression, and, cast
ing his gun to the ground, started
toward the camp with wild vel IF
terror. He thought the wolf was
chasing Jack, having overlooked the
lariat Jack caught on to the mistake
at once, and turned his pony toward
the fleeing cowboy. When the pony
came up alongside, Jack yelled:
Run, yer son of gun. DE VOLTS
a-gainin'.'
Then the pony darted ahead and
Jack brought the dead wolf close to the
scudding COW puncher, who by this time
had seen the lariat, and dropped to the
ground in sheer exhaustion, too weak
even to pull his six-shooter and get even
with Jack, who was rolling over the
prairie few yards away convulsed
with laughter.
Zone time down in Texas, Jim Cush-
ing and a companion threw lasso
around a wild cat, took turn around
wild plum tree, and proceeded to
make the ANNA! close captive. The
two forced the cat into one of Jim's
leather lcggings and tied it securely
fore and aft. Camp was twenty miles
away, but the boys, confident of plenty
of fun, logged it clearin. After supper
every man in camp, about thirty in all.
took his siX-shooter and formed double
line. The cat was released from its
leather prison and started down the
line. 1t struck dog trot and showed no
disposition whatever to hurry. Three
minutes later more disguised band of
cowboys could not have been found in
all the Southwest, for the cat had not
been hit. and before he disappeared in
the underbrush turned around and
showed his teeth to the bad marksmen
in a sarcastic Suarl y Kansas CitU Stnr.

as well he might, knowing that it meant

At that moment could not say "my

with which she Kissed out the words.
Il made his will the 9th of this
month, my dear lady, decreeing it SO.
When were you married."

The old gentleman stared at me; then
rapidly read the short will

half million of money if married
